Derek Harnwell’s Locker

The intention with Echolalia was never to make the big time. I suspect that might be obvious when you read ‘Welcome to the Underachievers’…

I made a documentary charting the time from our first gig tours recording what we hoped was going to be our debut single on a proper label. The film was called, in a combined nod to both the Smiths and an unbelievable deal on Stella Artois in the local supermarket, ‘Safeway Here We Come’.

Within that documentary were a few home-made videos to accompany our songs. This one shows some of the footage from just before our very first live performance, at a festival in Harrow, NWLondon.
